    But there will be an updated patch file when the servers do come back up. So you may need to wait until patching is completely finished and servers come back up, then patch your game client, then try to play.

    Same issue here. Everything was 100% fine before the patch and now I can't play at all.

    I am also having the same problem. A split second after I hit the Play button, the entire game crashes (before the load screen ever appears.) However, I admit I am using WINE/Linux. I never had a problem before today though.

    I used the "Safe mode" option after this happened initially, and that does not help, the game still crashes on load.

    I, myself, can't really play this. After the screen after the 'Cryptic' screen, it crashes and leaves the screen black and unplayable.

    It didn't happen before this patch, so yeah. Something in the update made this unplayable for me, I suppose.

    Well, I suppose I can /play/ this. I just have a black screen and can't see anything while I do it.

    the linux crash problem was reported on preview http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?713951-Mod-4-crashes-on-Linux-and-Mac

    Sadly, it's not fixed and now it also appear on live....
    Gonna start a separate thread for that one, it's not the same problem than the one described by the 1st poster.

    My game no work. Me no happy. Me wanna see new stuff. Boo :( But seriously, guys, please fix it! Keeps crashing and telling me to check the files and it will take 10-20 minutes and then will just crash again. What's the point of checking files then? Boohoo :(:(:(

    Having the same issue as well. Game worked fine before patch. Shortly after cryptic games logo finished the NWW/DND logo come up. Then the game crashes in Windows with direct 3D error.

    Having same problem. On Win 8 here, was working fine before the patch. Has anyone tried running game without on demand patching?

    I've changed pc regions to US from UK and re-patching now.

    I ran it in safe mode (in the options on the launcher.) It verified and then patched 2.3 gigs. Now I can log in. I was all patched up as far as I know. Maybe I did something wrong. I hope it work for you guys too.

    I'm using wineskin on mac. I press play and get an immediate crash b4 the load screen. I'm investigating now. May have answers soon but knowing PWE I probably won't.

    For me it is also crashing after character creation. I turned the graphics to minimum, that worked... until I wanted to load my characters in IWD -> crash again!

    I can not load any character in IWD!

    Why must there be always a change in graphics setting? It only messes up everything.
    Suggestions to improve NW:
    - Dualspec
    - Better rewarding foundry and foundry pvp maps
    - Custom PvP leagues with leaderboards instead of the current 'matchmaking'.
    - Armory
    - make jumping cost stamina (to reduce hopping in pvp)

    Ok edited the file GamePrefs in Neverwinter_en\Neverwinter\Live\Localdata changed GfxSettings.WindowedHeight to 600 and GfxSettings.WindowedWidth 800.

    After that i am abel to start the game in windowed mode and then change the settings to what i want to have. The game seems to work as usual haven't tested much.

    But start in a small window, change to full screen later and do that every time, boring.

    "Pixel shader compilation failure" error over here too.

    I can load to the character select screen and then select someone, but as soon as the the bar loads it crashes to desktop instead of putting me in a zone.

    I have updated my graphics drivers (nvidia) to the latest and turned off all apps such as display fusion, teamviewer and snaggit. I have tried going into graphic options from the menu and resetting the settings. Lastly, I tried running in safe mode (from the launcher) it still crashes.

    Suggestions ?
